A follow-up status conference has been scheduled in the case of a teen accused of a double murder.

Following a hearing Wednesday morning, Daniel Marsh, 16, will be in court next on Monday, June 2, leading up to his trial two weeks later. Marsh is accused of torturing and mutilating an elderly Davis couple inside their own home.

The murder took place April 13, 2013. Though Marsh was 15 at the time, he is being tried as an adult.

Marsh's trial was originally set to begin April 14 - exactly one year after the bodies of Oliver "Chip" Northup, 87, and his wife, Claudia Maupin, 76, were discovered in their condominium.

Despite opposition from prosecutors, the motion to continue the trial was granted by Yolo County Superior Court Judge David Reed in March. Trial is now slated to begin June 16.

Deputy Public Defender Ron Johnson submitted a motion to continue March 21 on the grounds that Marsh's defense needed more time to prepare for the trial and bring in an "expert" on the case.

Prosecutors maintained that the people have a right to a speedy trial.

This is the second time the trial has been continued. Marsh's first trial date of March 10 was postponed to April 14 earlier this year.

In February, Reed denied the defense's motion to suppress Marsh's videotaped confession detailing the double murder of Northup and Maupin, indicating that the statements of the teenager on June 17, 2013 were voluntary.

The defense maintained the boy's confession was involuntary, that he asked to invoke his right to remain silent, and that he was taken in for questioning on a rouse.

Reed said on the contrary, Marsh is sophisticated beyond his years.

At the teen's preliminary hearing in September, details of Marsh's statements to officers came to light. The teenager allegedly confessed to stabbing each victim dozens of times and mutilating the bodies, telling investigators that "it just felt right."

Maupin had 67 stab wounds, Northup had 61, according to Yolo County Chief Deputy Coroner Gina Moya. Moya also said the bodies also had been "eviscerated," with intestines pulled out, and foreign objects - a cellphone and a cup - shoved inside of them.

Prior to his ruling, Reed reviewed two DVDs of the confession, shot from different angles, as well as the video transcript.
